Federal constitution of the Swiss Confederation (of May 29, 1874) is the third and current federal constitution of Switzerland. It establishes the Swiss Confederation as a federal republic of 26 cantons (states). The document contains a catalog of individual and popular rights (including the right to call for popular referenda on federal laws and constitutional amendments), delineates the responsibilities of the cantons and the Confederation and establishes the federal authorities of government. The Constitution was adopted by a referendum on 18 April 1999, in which a majority of the people and the Cantons voted in favor. It replaced the prior federal constitution of 1874, which it was intended to bring up to date without changing its substance.

Switzerland is not only one of the oldest democracies in the world, but also an enduring model of peaceful multiethnic policy, characterized by a Constitution that is constant flux. The new Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation took effect on January 1, 2000; and it is with the intention of staying abreast of the constitutional changes and of the case law of the Federal Court that the authors have prepared the current volume. A general introduction of the constitutional history and the foundations of the Swiss political system are followed by the following issues: Sources of Swiss Constitutional Law; Organisational Design of the Swiss Confederation; Federalism in General and the Position of the Cantons and the Municipalities in the Swiss Confederation; Citizenship, Fundamental Rights and Liberties and their Judicial Protection, Protection of Minorities, Judicial Control of Administrative Action; Treaty and Foreign Affairs Powers, Taxing and Spending Powers, the Relationship between the State and the Church. Thomas Fleiner is Professor of constitutional and administrative law and Director of the Institute for Federalism at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland; Alexander Misic, lic.iur., LL.M.; Nicole Toepperwien, Dr. iur., LL.M.

Excerpt from The Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation: September 12, 1848; With Art, XLI and XLVIII as Amended January 14, 1866 To a native of Switzerland nothing could be more gratifying than to notice the frequent manifestations of popular sympathy in England and the United States, toward the country where republicanism has maintained a foot-hold for the last five hundred years. Having thus the love of country so innate in a Swiss, almost daily stimulated by the many encomiums bestowed upon the land of his birth, its scenery, institutions, and people, the translator was induced to think a rendering into English of the instrument which so effectually cemented into a general whole the varied interests of twenty-two distinct governments, could not but prove acceptable to its Anglo-Saxon admirers. It was considered irrelevant to give a detailed account of the causes which led to the adoption of the present excellent Constitution, as it would occupy a space wholly disproportionate to the nature of the present publication; suffice it to slay, that prior to 1848, Switzerland was only governed by the very inadequate laws of a Confederacy similar to those of the United Spates previous to the framing of their Constitution, in 1787.

"The Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation of 18 April 1999 represents the legal foundation of the state and as such contains a blue print for all state activities as well as the rights of the individual in relation to the state. This book offers an accurate and reasonably detailed introduction to Swiss constitutional law and its interrelations with public international law. The book first discusses definitions and functions of a constitution in general. It then examines the historical development, sources and interpretation of the Swiss Federal Constitution of 1999. In addition, the major constitutional principles underlying the Swiss legal system are analyzed such as the principle of the Rechtstaat, federalism, democracy and social justice. Furthermore, the book explains how the federal state is constituted and describes the federal organs, their powers and functions as well as the relationship between them. The book also places a special emphasis on the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Swiss Federal Constitution of 1999 and the protection of these rights by the Federal Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Presenting a succinct account of Swiss constitutional law, this book will be the ideal introduction for the interested English-speaking student. In addition, anybody interested in the foundation of the Swiss legal system will find the book a useful point of entry to this fascinating field of study"--Unedited summary from book cover.
